‘I don’t do fraud but chop life’ — D’banj breaks silence after release from ICPC detention
D’banj has spoken in public for the first time since he was released from the custody of the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC).
On Tuesday, the singer was detained by the ICPC, a few weeks after he was summoned by the commission.
The ICPC said the singer was under investigation for diverting funds meant for the government’s N-Power project.
But on Friday, the ‘Fall in Love’ crooner was released after three days in detention.
Pelumi Olajengbesi, the singer’s lawyer who announced his release, said his client “is innocent”.
The lawyer also said Bolaji Owasanoye, the ICPC chairman, must be “deeply embarrassed” that the commission was used for “such shameful publicity against an innocent man.”
Shortly after his release, the musician took to his social media handle to speak on his ordeal.
In the post, the musician said he has assisted the ICPC with what he knows on the matter, adding that “I have no business with fraud.”
The singer also challenged the commission to unravel the truth in the matter.
“Global thank you to the world. I was invited on an ongoing investigation in ICPC. I have assisted the commission with all I know and I am confident in their capacity to unravel the truth in the matter. I have no business with fraud, all I do is #choplife,” he wrote.
